Wouldn't that make people on the internet "realer", as they don't hold back ?

I wouldn't think so. I think it lets them live a different life to some extent. I've seen lots of people say lots of rude and out right retarded things to others, but when I went to Botcon I saw none of that.

That's not entirely true, the only tools I saw were a couple of idiots with megaphones yelling the same joke over and over again in an attempt to try and be funny. Kinda gives the impression that they thought they were funny online, but were completely devoid of real life humor in person. Mind you, other then those two everyone I met at Botcon was a really nice and cool person I would sit down and have a beer with any day of the week. So I would have to conclude that there are many folks online that are nothing like they are off line.

Wait... this thread is about VGcats right... damn it I love that web comic.

I liked the film, and even I found that funny. C'mon guys, laugh. It will lengthen your life span, ya know.

What, product placement in a movie based on a cartoon that was produced to sell a line of action figures? How dare they!!!

I really didn't find that all that amusing, but I'm not knocking it. Also, I thought the movie was awsome.

Scott is really hit-and-miss with his comic.

This was a miss.

I thought this one one of his funniest yet. Then again I may be a bit biased...

I like to think I'm a bigger ass-hat in person.

It's called street cred.

Street cred was you and your girlfriend handing me my ass at Street Fighter 2.

OH NO! CONSISTENTLY ENTERTAINING comic poke fun at Transformers movie! Let's all post snide comments about how Scott "hit or miss" and how cats annoying!
Me, Grimlock, think VGCats dead-on. Too many squishies in movie. Me want to see more robot fighting! Not more america ball-massaging with soldiers.

Plus, me also like cats. Cats make me, Grimlock, laugh.


I'm bored, so I felt like writing my post as Grimlock.

Glad I could step up to the plate. Besides, I'm training day and night to extract my revenge next Botcon.

Real life irony: I was practicing the game and checking up on posts at the same time when I came across yours.

I never thought VGcats was funny.

considering the quality of scotts recent work, i dont think he has the right to criticize anything...i havent read a funny vgcats strip in months.

Some people like them, others don't. I myself have never really found Penny Arcade funny myself, but I do find the occasional funny strip.
